Folding Sliding Door Benefits
The key benefit of aluminium folding sliding doors is that they fully retract, providing a wide open space, bringing the outside in. The doors are also an ideal solution when extra space is required as they can be used to partition large rooms into small, more comfortable, cosy rooms and when required can be opened, providing one large space. Folding sliding doors are rapidly becoming a more popular alternative to French and patio doors. A folding sliding door can offer a clear opening of 90%, as opposed to 40% with patio and French doors.
Aluminium frames are now widely used as an alternative to wood, it is stronger, can be welded, fabricated and formed with ease. Aluminium will not warp, rot or require varnishing and is easy to clean and is resistant to fire.
Products
